The last few months have been a busy period for us all and sometimes it's nice to sit back and unwind.
This week Edinburgh is set to see the sun with highs of 26C amid a predicted heatwave.
According to the Met Office and BBC, the heatwave has already started with today (August 8) seeing highs of 21C.

Because of the warm weather and low chances of rain, the capital should have clear skies meaning we have perfect conditions for star-gazing as well as seeing other astronomical delights.
And according to Wales Online, there are five events you should keep and eye out for as they're set to be quite the sight.
The events may be best viewed from the countryside away from the city - so with August set for events not to be missed, here's what you'll need to keep an eye out for and when it's set to take place.
Supermoon
When: August 12
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 1.36am. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Sturgeon Moon because the large sturgeon fish of the Great Lakes and other major lakes were more easily caught at this time of year. This moon has also been known as the Green Corn Moon and the Grain Moon.
This is also the last of three supermoons for 2022. The Moon will be near its closest approach to the Earth and may look larger and brighter than usual.
Perseids Meteor Shower
When: August 12 and 13
The Perseids are famous for producing a large number of bright meteors and makes it one of the best meteor showers to observe as at its peak, it produces up to 60 meteors per hour and is produced by comet Swift-Tuttle which was discovered in 1862.
The shower runs annually from July 17 to August 24 however this year it has been predicted to peak on the night of August 12 and the morning of August 13. Unfortunately the nearly full moon this year will block out all but the brightest meteors but the Perseids are so bright and numerous that it could still be a decent show.
Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Perseus, but can appear anywhere in the sky.
Saturn at Opposition
When: August 14
The planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. Because of this, it will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long.
This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn's rings and a few of its brightest moons.
New Moon
When: August 27
The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 9:15 in the UK which is said to be the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
Mercury at Greatest Eastern Elongation
When: August 27
The planet Mercury reaches greatest eastern elongation of 27.3 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the planet low in the western sky just after sunset.
